Only Lonely Miho

Note: I've suddenly come to the realization that "Only Lonely Soldier", Valgaav's theme from Try, is an equally appropiate them for Miho. Hence the title of this fanfic.


"< Poor girl. >" "< Yes, it is a tragedy. The news will be hard on her when she wakes up. Nothing quite has hard as waking up from a coma and learning your parents are dead. >" "< Her recovery does not look any better. We may not have to tell her. >"

Two doctors stand outside of a critical care ward discussing the fate of a girl inside. The girl is very pale with long purple hair. Tubes come out from all over her body like a cybernectic doll charged up and connected to a giant computer.

"< Does she have any other relatives? >" "< None living. She had an older brother, but he's been missing for several years now. No one has heard from him since. >" "< How is she to survive if she wakes up? >" "< Apparently her family left her a rather large inheritance. She not only has enough money to survive, but more than enough to pay for her hospital bills. >" "< Who WERE her parents?! >" "< No one recognizable, that's for sure. Apparently her father invented some sort of new type of video game. >" "< Well it doesn't matter, so long as we are well paid for our services. >"

"Miho....Miho.", a voice cries out softly through the darkness. A light shines, blinding a pale young girl. "Sono hikari wa...nan desu ka?" "Miho...Miho." "Otousan? Okaasan?" The light quickly disipates into shadow as a tall and ominous figure steps out before her dressed in all black with his long purple hair twisted with black ribbons.

"Sono...sono wa!", Miho exclaims at the familiar image. "< Yes. I am your avatar. >", the mysterious man replies simply. "< You're not real! Why am I speaking to you? You belong to me. >" "< Not anymore, Miho-san, it is you who belongs to me. You've been a very naughty girl, and now I shall take your soul as mine. >", the necromancer informs.

"< I've always been a good girl! I haven't done anything wrong! >", Miho exclaims in protest. "< Ah, and now you add dishonesty to your sins. Do you take me for an ignorant fool? I am a part of you, I know everything that you do. You cannot hide yourself from me. >"


I don't want a truth, cause it is a changing
I don't want a love, cause it is a lie
I don't believe in word, except dirty words
I don't believe in dream, until I am death
Everybody go to hell

"< I'll tell you something that should be in recent memory, my Miho. Remember EndGames? It was YOU who crashed the server. It was YOU who manipulated the other characters to do your will. It was YOU who used the hidden emotional statistics to force your will on others. Not exactly cheating, but far from fair play. >"

I'm going to fight with hypocrite
I'm going to find out every dishonest things
I don't need home sweet home
Only one I need is believing in myself
Wow wow wow wow

"< I...I...I didn't mean to! It...it...it is just a game! I...I was experimenting! No...no...no one was hurt! >"

Only lonely soldier
But I know it's never end
Only lonely soldier
But I know it's misery
Only lonely soldier
But I know it's my energy
Only lonely soldier
Now I know it's my destiny
What I'm looking for, but don't wanna face it anytime

"< Sure, if that's what you want to believe. However, it doesn't change the fact that what you did was wrong. Of course no one got hurt, except for all the people you manipulated and all the people you tried to manipulate. Remember that girl who was able to turn your little secret against you? You hated her, but at the same time, she made you fall in love with her. You made me fall in love with her, Miho. You made me, and you made me love her. I didn't do all those things under my power, you made me do it all. The reason I exist is because you made me. You made me what I am. You should be proud. >"

I don't want a peace, cause it is a changing
I don't want a heart, cause it is a lie
I don't believe in god, except only devil
I don't believe in life, until I am death
Everybody go to hell

"< Go away! Leave me alone! I'm a good girl! I'm a good girl! >", Miho cries out to no avail.

I'm going to fight with hypocrite
I'm going to find out every dishonest things
I don't need home sweet home
Only one I need is believing in myself
Wow wow wow wow

"< Oh dear God! We're losing her! >" "< The hell?! She's going into convulsions! >"

Only lonely soldier
But I know it's never end
Only lonely soldier
But I know it's misery
Only lonely soldier
But I know it's my energy
Only lonely soldier
Now I know it's my destiny
What I'm looking for, but don't wanna face it anytime

"< And now...you die. What a wonderful feeling, isn't it? You're dying, ceasing to exist. We'll be together in death my Miho. >"

Only lonely soldier
But I know it's never end
Only lonely soldier
But I know it's misery
Only lonely soldier
But I know it's my energy
Only lonely soldier
Now I know it's my destiny
What I'm looking for, but don't wanna face it anytime

"< That is a lie! I'm not dying! I'm just having a nightmare! >" "My Miho, do you not remember? You fell into a coma after that girl slashed my face. It hurt on all levels, for the both of us. You collapsed and I was left to wander until you returned, but you didn't return. You were sent to the hospital where you have remained for the past six months. As a matter of fact, your parents died today. >" "< No...that can't be true...it can't be true. >", Miho denies with tears starting to form in her topaz eyes. "< But it is true, and now you lay in your hospital room, convulsing, on the very brink of death itself. >"

"< I...I...I don't wanna die. I...I want...I want...I want...... >" "< To live. >" "< Yes...I want to...I want to live! >" "< Then I can grant you new life. It is not too late, you can live again! >"

"< It is too late. We could not have saved her. >" "< At least now...she'll be with her parents. We won't have to tell her.... >"

"< What do I have to do? >", Miho inquires. "< Give yourself to me. Become my avatar and let me be your player and you shall live a long life. Those whom you hate will know your sorrow and anguish. Be mine, my Miho. >" "< Very well. I give myself to you, so that I will be yours and you will be mine. We shall manipulate those who have hurt us. We shall be the only, you and I. >" "< As you will, it is done. >"

A bright light flashes in Miho's vision as she finds herself jerking up from the black bag that had been place around her but not yet zipped up.

"< OH MY GOD! She's alive! >"

"< I'm in the hospital. >", Miho comments with a cold and hardened voice of one who no longer possesses a soul.

"< It's a miracle. She's alive. >"
